I love nut butters, but unless you buy them in little individual packets, they can be hard to transport. That’s why I created these Raspberry Cashew Butter Balls! Even though these little bites of bliss are loaded with cashew butter, they’re totally portable and make the perfect nutrient-rich snack – cashews are a great source of protein, fiber, monounsaturated fat, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, zinc and iron! Coconut and chia seeds contribute additional healthy fats, while the chia seeds up the fiber and protein content. And those freeze-dried raspberries not only add a delicious flavor, they’re a good source of vitamin C and fiber too! If you aren’t sold on these yummy treats yet, you will be when you realize how easy they are to make!
